Music on iPhone keeps pausing by itself

My music keeps pausing by itself! The volume bar is still there but it justs keeps pausing over and over again. On about the 3rd time it pauses i have to take the headphones out and put them back in to get the volume bar back and then it goes right back to what it was doing. Please dont comment to restore the phone, or try new headphones i've tried both. Some people were telling me that a file needs to be deleted to stop this and the only way to do that is to jailbreak the iphone, but there is no jailbreak with iOS7. if you have ANY suggestions beside restore, PLEASE HELP.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

This is not the case as my iPhone does this when no headphones are attached.

Though it's an old post, I also had the same problem with my new iPhone7 running ios11. I also changed my headphone and it seems to be working fine!! Please try this and see if it works.

Make sure you are logged out of Apple Music on other devices. I just had this issue and once I logged out on my old phone, it allowed me to play my music freely without pausing.
